RING.

Application filed September This invention relates to finger rings and more particularly to a combined wedding ring and guard therefor, or combined wedding and ei'igagemcnt ring. An objectof the invention is to provide a ring structure which includes guard or receiving ring formed of a single piece of precious metal with spaced ring members which may be decorated and carry precious stones and which are connected at the inner portion of the band of the ring to provide a channel for receiving a part of the hand ring and holding it against lateral or ciroumferential movement from between the la spaced sections of the guard ring.

O ther objectsof the invention will appear in the following detail iilescript-ion, and in the accompanying drawings wherein:

Figure l is a top view of the ring showing one manner of decorating or constructing the end showing the band ring in place.

Figure 2 is a top view of the ring showing the hand ring removed.

Figure 3 is a vertical section through the ring with the band ring in place.

Figure a is an edge elevation of the ring with the band ring removed.

Figure 5 is a bottom iew of the ring,

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the improved ring includes the guard or carrying section 1 which in turn comprises the sections 2 and 3, the tops of which may be ornamented in any desired manner and carry any number of precious stones of any desired type. The bottoms of the bands of the sections 2 and 3 integrally formed. flat strip 4: which forms together with the bands 5 of the sections 2 and 3, a channel 6 in which the hand ring 7 engages. The sections 2 and 3 may be spaced at proper distances apart so that the hand ring 7 will fit snugly thorebetwecn.

If it is so desired. the band ring 'i'may have its outer periphery ornamented in any desired manner. or it may be perfectly plain depending upon the desires of thowearer.

The channel 6 which is formed by the strip 5 extends some distance beyond the transverse center of the ring suflicient to prevent circumferential movement of the hand ring 7,

relative to the sections 2 and 3, and the sections 2 and 3 prevent lateral movement of the band. It is to be noted that the pair of are connected by an i 18, 1925. Serial. No. 57,194,

ring sections of this improved finger ring are spaced co-axially, and that the bottoms of said ring sections have the substantially long strip 4:, of arcuate formation, on their circumferential outer surfaces, thereby con necting the two ring sections together.

This substantially long flat strip 4 extends the greater part of the bottom of the two ring sections and up along the sides. The two ring sections and the substantially long flat strip form the side walls and bottom of the ti -shaped channel 6, so that the band ring 7 may seat snugly between the two ring sections, to be supported by the bottom of the U-shaped channel, and held securely by the side walls, and against lateral displacement with the inner walls of the two ring sections and the band being substantially flush.

The principal use for the improved ring structure heretofore described, is to provide a guard and ornamentation for wedding rings to beautify the wedding ring and to add to its attractiveness. However, the sections 2 and 3 could be used as an engagement ring and receive the band wedding ring upon the performing of the wedding ceremony.

It is, of course, to be understood, that the invention may be constructed in various other manners and the parts associated in different relations and therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner, except as set forth in the claims hereunto appended.

hat I claim is:

A finger ring comprising a pair of ring sections spaced co-axially, the bottom of said ring sections having on their cirr 'umferential outer surfaces a substantially long strip of arcuate tormation connecting the two ring sections together and extending the greater part of the bottom of the two ring sections and up along the sides whereby a Ushaped channel is formed, the said strip forming the bottom and the two ring sections forming the side walls of the channel, a hand ring fitting snugly and tightly between the two ring sections, supported at the bottom of the channel and held by the side walls thereof. the inner walls of the two ring sections and the band being substantially flush.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
